| Félix Nadar Hector Berlioz, composer ca. 1860 Victoria & Albert Museum |
Félix Nadar was the trade-name of Parisian studio photographer Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910). His portraits of musicians and performers and idealists and professional beauties documented the more-or-less civilized face of 19th-century public life, just as the photographs of Matthew Brady in the United States were documenting the new barbarism of machine-made murder on an industrial scale.
